Hello,
I’m Amy
Welcome to my blog. I love all things historical and American Girl. I find creativity in the fascinating way people of the past lived. I love to travel to historic places and hear their stories. American Girl dolls and books fed my passion for history as a child and I have never stopped loving or collecting them. I hope you get enjoyment out of my adventures, discover a recipe or are inspired to create a doll world. Thanks for stopping by!
Let’s connect
Join the fun!
